I spend more and more time at my desk these days, doing everything from preparing the family daily duties and Because of this, my workspace is constantly changing. Holding the clutter at bay is challenging, so I prefer to keep nearby only a few quality items that serve multiple purposes over a stockpile of things I might never need.

My planner is one of those simple ring binder journals you can pick up from any Kmart which is after I bought mine from. White paper. No ruled lines to cage my venturesome handwriting and doodling. I’m an note-taker and fill pages to the margins with to do lists, and ideas for blog posts. I usually go through one planner every couple months.

Who me? Organized? My husband might tell you otherwise, but I do find it hard to keep track of our weekly schedule. You know: grocery shopping, tidying up, paying bills, remembering appointments and looking after a 6 month old. But we do have a little secret that helps our day run more smoothly.
